'Mothers' in the Bible

And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.

And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:

Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?

For this is what the Lord has said about the sons and daughters who come to birth in this place, and about their mothers who have given them birth, and about their fathers who have given life to them in this land:

They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.

We are children without fathers, our mothers are like widows.

And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life.

And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

Children, do what is ordered by your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for this is right.

Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

But if any widow has children or children's children, let these see that it is right to take care of their family and their fathers and mothers: for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.

Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;
